First you say the Linux kernel is "laughable" and should copy Netware instead.
Now you say the (existing, working) list manager is no good, without saying
why.
Are you a troll?

Because the list-admins decided that way.

Have you ever tried to run a list with volumes like ours,
and opennes (for posting) requirements like ours ?
I have had some experience with those "more modern" beasts,
and sure they are pretty with web-interfaces, but try to
manage them thru that web-junk, when they have several
thousand blocked junk messages to be discarded...
We manage this thing with custom command-line utilities.
In the early days there was no such a thing as "web", for
example, and we really haven't seen anything so truly
worthwhile in any new systems to warrant switching entire
system over to them. (And we have seen so much BAD in
those eye-candy things that...)
I sure may sound like "if it was good enough for your grandpa,
it shall be good enough for you" -- but if one can't send email
to the Majordomo (and manage to follow those basic instructions),
perhaps they should not subscribe either...

Sorry, none of us is Brent Chapman. :-)
But Majordomo is better than any other in free/open software
then or since in my experience.
Part of VGERs performance success is ZMailer MTA, of which current
main author I am, and our Majordomo installation uses several optimized
auxiliary programs to speed things up so that MTA takes up large share
of processing load with least possible CPU or IO expenditure.
